Community Tasting Note

  August 21, 2004 - Decadence (Issaquah, WA, USA): Oh my, the nose on shows dried herbs, cherry, hints of roasted meat, violets and tar. The palate was almost chewy, massive and mineral driven, such omnipresent structure, so primary and powerful. Unreal balance. I spent more time tasting than writing on this wine, but it was a masterpiece. It is better than I scored it, but it needs a lot of time still to really come around. With 5 hours in the decanter and time to watch it open and unfold we caught a pretty nice glimpse into what this can offer.
